Gouged and profiled basson cane: Rigotti - density tested

Product number: INNEN-AUSSEN-DICHTE-RIGOTTI Manufacturer:
The density tester developed by Jean-Marie Heinrich helps make bassoon reed making easier. Whilst untested cane has a natural variation from piece to piece, density tested gouged and profiled cane provides the reed maker with a far more consistent selection of cane, particularly regarding the hardness and playing characteristics of the cane.

The density tested cane helps reduce the amount of wasted cane during reed making and greatly improves the quality of the reeds. We use a density tester by Rieger for our density measuring.

Our density grading is:
  • Low Density: 55-61
  • Medium Density: 62-65
  • High Density: 66-70
  • Very High Density: 71-76
  • Extremely High Density: 77+
